Do you experience lower back pain that radiates down your leg, accompanied by tingling and numbness? If so, you may be among the 40% of the population affected by sciatica. This condition occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, often due to a sudden injury or a chronic issue. At Walnut Grove Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Clinic in Langley, BC, we provide non-invasive treatments to reduce your symptoms and improve your mobility.
What Causes Sciatica?
The sciatic nerve is a bundle of nerves that branches out from the lower spine, making it the largest nerve in the body. Problems arise when the nerve becomes compressed or irritated. Some common causes of sciatica include:
- Herniated discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Bone spurs
- Piriformis Syndrome
- Injuries
Treatments for Sciatica
At Walnut Grove Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Clinic, our goal is to treat the underlying condition that is causing pressure on the sciatic nerve. We utilize various techniques and treatments that not only provide pain relief but promote whole-body healing, such as the following:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments help correct misalignments that cause pain and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Additionally, they enhance mobility and help prevent injuries from recurring.
Massage Therapy
We may sometimes combine chiropractic adjustments with massage therapy to help you heal faster. Massage therapy helps reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and improve circulation.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy focuses on exercises and stretches designed to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine and improve flexibility. By addressing the causes of pain, physiotherapy can relieve discomfort and allow you to move more freely.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapeutic practice that can help increase blood flow and reduce pain. By inserting needles into specific pressure points, we can help your body to release endorphins that can relax muscles, relieve stress, and provide pain relief.
